The system check framework is a set of static checks for validating Django projects. It detects common problems and provides hints for how to fix them. The framework is extensible so you can easily add your own checks.
For details on how to add your own checks and integrate them with Django's system checks, see the System check topic guide.
CheckMessage
¶The warnings and errors raised by system checks must be instances of
CheckMessage
. An instance encapsulates a single reportable error or
warning. It also provides context and hints applicable to the message, and a
unique identifier that is used for filtering purposes.
Constructor arguments are:
level
DEBUG
,
INFO
, WARNING
, ERROR
, CRITICAL
. If the level is greater or
equal to ERROR
, then Django will prevent management commands from
executing. Messages with level lower than ERROR
(i.e. warnings) are
reported to the console, but can be silenced.msg
hint
None
can be used.obj
__str__()
method.
The method is used while reporting all messages and its result precedes the
message.id
applabel.X001
, where X
is one of the letters
CEWID
, indicating the message severity (C
for criticals, E
for
errors and so). The number can be allocated by the application, but should
be unique within that application.There are subclasses to make creating messages with common levels easier. When
using them you can omit the level
argument because it is implied by the
class name.
Django's system checks are organized using the following tags:
admin
: Checks of any admin site declarations.caches
: Checks cache related configuration.compatibility
: Flags potential problems with version upgrades.database
: Checks database-related configuration issues. Database checks
are not run by default because they do more than static code analysis as
regular checks do. They are only run by the migrate
command or if
you specify the database
tag when calling the check
command.models
: Checks of model, field, and manager definitions.security
: Checks security related configuration.signals
: Checks on signal declarations and handler registrations.staticfiles
: Checks django.contrib.staticfiles
configuration.templates
: Checks template related configuration.urls
: Checks URL configuration.Some checks may be registered with multiple tags.
Compatibility checks warn of potential problems that might occur after upgrading Django.

oversight when migrating from url()

.The security checks do not make your site secure. They do not audit code, do intrusion detection, or do anything particularly complex. Rather, they help perform an automated, low-hanging-fruit checklist. They help you remember the simple things that improve your site's security.
Some of these checks may not be appropriate for your particular deployment
configuration. For instance, if you do your HTTP to HTTPS redirection in a load
balancer, it'd be irritating to be constantly warned about not having enabled
SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT
. Use SILENCED_SYSTEM_CHECKS
to
silence unneeded checks.
The following checks are run if you use the check --deploy
option:
django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware
in your
MIDDLEWARE
so the SECURE_HSTS_SECONDS
,
SECURE_CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF
, SECURE_BROWSER_XSS_FILTER
,
and SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT
settings will have no effect.django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware
in your
MIDDLEWARE
, so your pages will not be served with an
'x-frame-options'
header. Unless there is a good reason for your
site to be served in a frame, you should consider enabling this
header to help prevent clickjacking attacks.django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware
is not in your
MIDDLEWARE
). Enabling the middleware is the safest
approach to ensure you don't leave any holes.SECURE_HSTS_SECONDS
setting. If your entire site is served only
over SSL, you may want to consider setting a value and enabling HTTP
Strict Transport Security. Be sure to read
the documentation first; enabling HSTS carelessly can cause serious,
irreversible problems.SECURE_HSTS_INCLUDE_SUBDOMAINS
setting to True
. Without this,
your site is potentially vulnerable to attack via an insecure connection to a
subdomain. Only set this to True
if you are certain that all subdomains of
your domain should be served exclusively via SSL.SECURE_CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF
setting is not
set to True
, so your pages will not be served with an
'x-content-type-options: nosniff'
header. You should consider enabling
this header to prevent the browser from identifying content types incorrectly.SECURE_BROWSER_XSS_FILTER
setting is not
set to True
, so your pages will not be served with an
'x-xss-protection: 1; mode=block'
header. You should consider enabling
this header to activate the browser's XSS filtering and help prevent XSS
attacks.SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT
setting is not set to
True
. Unless your site should be available over both SSL and non-SSL
connections, you may want to either set this setting to True
or configure
a load balancer or reverse-proxy server to redirect all connections to HTTPS.SECRET_KEY
has less than 50 characters or
less than 5 unique characters. Please generate a long and random
SECRET_KEY
, otherwise many of Django's security-critical features will be
vulnerable to attack.django.contrib.sessions
in your
INSTALLED_APPS
but you have not set
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE
to True
. Using a secure-only session
cookie makes it more difficult for network traffic sniffers to hijack user
sessions.django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware
in your
MIDDLEWARE
, but you have not set SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE
to True
. Using a secure-only session cookie makes it more difficult for
network traffic sniffers to hijack user sessions.SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE
is not set to True
.
Using a secure-only session cookie makes it more difficult for network traffic
sniffers to hijack user sessions.django.contrib.sessions
in your
INSTALLED_APPS
, but you have not set
SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY
to True
. Using an HttpOnly
session
cookie makes it more difficult for cross-site scripting attacks to hijack user
sessions.django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware
in your
MIDDLEWARE
, but you have not set SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY
to True
. Using an HttpOnly
session cookie makes it more difficult for
cross-site scripting attacks to hijack user sessions.SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY
is not set to True
.
Using an HttpOnly
session cookie makes it more difficult for cross-site
scripting attacks to hijack user sessions.CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE
is not set to True
.
Using a secure-only CSRF cookie makes it more difficult for network traffic
sniffers to steal the CSRF token.CSRF_COOKIE_HTTPONLY
is not set to True
.
Using an HttpOnly
CSRF cookie makes it more difficult for cross-site
scripting attacks to steal the CSRF token. This check is removed in Django
1.11 as the CSRF_COOKIE_HTTPONLY
setting offers no pratical
benefit.DEBUG
set to True
in
deployment.django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware
in your
MIDDLEWARE
, but X_FRAME_OPTIONS
is not set to
'DENY'
. The default is 'SAMEORIGIN'
, but unless there is a good reason
for your site to serve other parts of itself in a frame, you should change
it to 'DENY'
.ALLOWED_HOSTS
must not be empty in deployment.SECURE_HSTS_PRELOAD
setting to True
. Without this, your site
cannot be submitted to the browser preload list.<handler>

signal with
a lazy reference to the sender <app label>.<model>
, but app <app label>
isn't installed or doesn't provide model <model>
.The following checks are performed on your URL configuration:
<pattern>
uses
include()
with a route
ending with a $
. Remove the
dollar from the route
to avoid problems including URLs.<pattern>

beginning with
a /
. Remove this slash as it is unnecessary. If this pattern is targeted
in an include()
, ensure the include()
pattern has a trailing /
.<pattern>
has a name
including a :
. Remove the colon, to avoid ambiguous namespace
references.<pattern>
is invalid. Ensure that
urlpatterns
is a list of path()
and/or
re_path()
instances.<namespace>
isn't unique. You may not be
able to reverse all URLs in this namespace.MEDIA_URL
/ STATIC_URL
setting must
end with a slash.contrib
